Departments
24 departments, A to Z, as the City's departments page lists them. The City Council and the City Manager's Office, also on that list, are above. 16 of the 24 department pages name who runs the department. Where a page names nobody, this list shows a dash. It never fills the gap from the City's staff directory.
